View Mentor Profile
When viewing another mentor profile, you can see what particular services they are offering, how many
mentoring relationships they have completed and whether they are available. You can then send them a private
message, or a mentoring request specifying the services you would like to take up.

Mentor 'Next Actions' and Activity Scheduling
Once a mentoring relationship has been agreed it is important to encourage the mentor and mentee to take
steps to ensure the agreed actions are followed through. We allow participants to do so within Aluminate. For
example uploading a CV or scheduling a meeting directly within the platform.
